Though I do think the armor could be of a lighter color.
Brilliant though, the legs and torso are connected very nicely, looks seamless.
Oh you're right, I completely forgot the bandoleer.

The armor, though, will be lighter once it has a specmap applied to it.

You've been doing lots of Force Unleashed related stuff. Is this for a reason? Or just for fun?

Wow! Mav'! Great use of assets.. That's what people always tell me when i make something new from old things.. But they don't realize how hard it can be! Great model :thumbs:

Ladies and gentleman, the Convo pack Kit is 'released' and even though it's my favourite player model ever, i still thought he looked more like a amphibious bodybuilder instead of kit.. That's why i decided to improve, well, to be fair, REDO Battlefront Zero's Kit.. Here he is, in Jedi cloths (i took The Clone Wars as reference for clothing). His head is re-uved this way that the tentacles actually blend/merge/go over in the head! :D

One question: env-mapped eyes or not? I tried already, but env-mapping his eyes looks kinda robotic.. Also, ofcourse, he is already done weighting, but i need to clean his face a bit more.. Still, i animated the tentacles: they look awesome! :D
Anyhow:

Kit Fisto

Kit looks very impressive, I'd actually prefer it to the one in the Conversion Pack if you made his skin a tad darker.

GEEZ. Now I really can't wait for BF0 to be released. I love the conv pack Kit, but I always thought we needed another Kit that had robes... Maybe new Nautolan Jedi... :P

I dunno.. The color was taken from the reference picture though.. :? Luckily his tentacles work perfect ingame! :D Had loads of practice on the last kit, together with Ace.. Good ol'times :funny2: So.. envmapped eyes or not?

1)Hes talking about the case he carries on his back that he uses to hold his lightsaber in.
2) Im pretty sure the lightsaber holder was stuck out enough to be seen. :P

Big enough to be seen from any angle? Or not there at all? You make the decision.

Any renders/figurines/ingame shots I looked at for references (and believe me I looked at a lot) didn't have a scabbard on his back (and why would a scabbard for a lightsaber - a sword with a retractable blade - even make sense?). The only picture I saw with anything like that was one piece of concept art, which is, after all, just concept art. Everything else has no scabbard.

P.S. When you inevitably respond to say "Whoops," please don't quote this post. Loading those images once is enough for this page.

1: Yeah, I think his skin is a little darker
2: I might say yes to envmapped eyes if I see them first.

Ah, right, as for the envmapped eyes, I don't think they're all that necessary considering you've already textured on that little "gleam" in the eyes.
